1 | Temple of the Holy Spirit | 1 Cor 6:19 | Ngop | 105432 | ||
1 Cor 6:19 : ..... "your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit....". My question is: Is it possible that the word " body" was erroneously translated? My reason is :1. Genesis 2:7 says Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. How can God Holy Spirit dwell in the dust. 2. "Soma" the original word can be "body" or "substance". Could it be the substance of man is the breath of life from God. If so, it could then be the Holy Spirit dwells in the Breath of God in man. The temple of the Holy Spirit is the Breath of God not the body? God bless Ngop |

Ngop, In the context of your question, you might also ask how did God dwell in the Temple of Jerusalem? God , who is spirit exists whether dwelling in the Temple or in the flesh of Jesus. We on the other hand are by nature phsyical and spiritual and God breathed His Spirit into man. (See Genesis and the Gospel of John on the evening of the resurrection and also Pentecost in Acts)This is why the final fulfillment of our salvation is the resurrection of the body. I hope this helps some. Emmaus |

3 | Temple of the Holy Spirit | 1 Cor 6:19 | Ngop | 105438 | ||
Emmaus, Greetings and thank you for your response. But God dwells in the flesh of Jesus because Jesus' flesh is not from dust. It is the Word made flesh ( John 1:1 ). In the Temple of Jerusalem, God's glory not God dwells in it ( I think; not so sure ).And in Exodus 25:8, God dwells among the people not in the Tabernacle. It think it means, God's presence was with them. And if I may add, in Roman 7:14, our flesh is sold as slave to sin. God and sin are like oil and water that will never mix. How will then the Holy Spirit dwells in our sinful body. God bless Ngop |

4 | Temple of the Holy Spirit | 1 Cor 6:19 | Emmaus | 105440 | ||
Ngop, God dwells everywhere in different ways but always existed and exists as trancendent Spirit. If Jesus' flesh is not the same as ours, what was the purpose of Him taking it on to save us for the resurrection of the body? Is He not true God and true man? Did He not take His body from Mary? The Holy Spirit dwells in us us because we are "new creations in Christ" and it is "no longer I that lives but Christ that lives in me." Sorry I am not where I have access to give proper citations. Maybe someone else can help here. Emmaus |
